The Altitude MB Meteor ‘Felix the Cat’ fuses Bremont’s aviation tool-watch engineering with a character-led twist. Created with Universal Products & Experiences, it becomes a stealthy tribute to one of aviation’s most recognisable mascots and reflects the brand’s idea of “joyful watchmaking”.

Felix the Cat has long been linked to U.S. Navy aviation, notably through VFA-31, the “Tomcatters”. Viewed as a good-luck emblem and symbol of humour under pressure, Felix now fronts Bremont’s “Watch your Six” narrative, echoing fighter-pilot clock-position terminology and underlining the brand’s ties to aviators, explorers and military professionals.

The Altitude MB Meteor continues the MB series created with ejection-seat specialist Martin-Baker. Its 42mm Grade 2 titanium case is fully coated in black DLC, using the Trip-Tick three-part construction and a knurled PVD titanium barrel with matching crowns for a lightweight, purposeful profile.

Felix appears on the matte black dial, running off with the number six. The six, other applied numerals and indexes are filled with white Super-LumiNova with blue emission for low-light legibility, while a black inner bi-directional rotating bezel operated via the crown at four o’clock with Bremont’s roto-click mechanism adds practical pilot timing.

Yellow detailing punctuates the monochrome design. The minute track is rendered in vivid yellow, echoing flight-safety markings, and the sweep seconds hand carries the MB collection’s looped “ejection” pull-handle tip in yellow and black with a red lollipop tip for at-a-glance clarity.

Inside, the watch is powered by the BB14-AH automatic movement built on a Le Joux Perret calibre. Beating at 28,800 bph with 24 jewels, it offers a 68-hour power reserve and is mounted in a flexible rubber shock-absorbing system with a soft-iron ring for magnetic protection.

The DLC-coated titanium caseback is open, revealing a Felix-themed rotor finished in gunmetal grey with Geneva stripes. The case offers 10 ATM (100 metres) of water resistance, 12.23mm thickness, a 49.3mm case length and 22mm lug width, while the titanium construction keeps the watch head just over 53 grams for comfortable wear.

Bremont supplies the Altitude MB Meteor ‘Felix the Cat’ on a matt black DLC-coated titanium bracelet with quick-release functionality or a quick-release strap in black rubber and embossed leather with box-stitch detailing. Both underline the Altitude line’s emphasis on lightness and endurance, allowing a shift from cockpit-ready tool watch to low-key urban piece.

Limited to 500 pieces worldwide, the Altitude MB Meteor ‘Felix the Cat’ is positioned by Bremont as a reminder to stay bold, curious and to enjoy the journey, echoing the brand’s Air, Land and Sea philosophy and “Take It Further” mantra. It is a character-driven interpretation of the MB platform that keeps its focus on resilience, precision and specification for daily or mission-focused use.
